The name of the one, Pishon, this it is which encircles the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.

And the name of the second river is Gihon, this it is which encircles the whole land of Ethiopia.

And the third river is Tigris, this is that which flows forth over against the Assyrians. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

And God formed yet farther out of the earth all the wild beasts of the field, and all the birds of the sky, and he brought them to Adam, to see what he would call them, and whatever Adam called any living creature, that was the name of it.

And Adam said, This now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of her husband.

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

And God said to him, Who told thee that thou wast naked, unless thou hast eaten of the tree concerning which I charged thee of it alone not to eat?

And Adam said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me—she gave me of the tree and I ate.

And the Lord God said to the woman, Why hast thou done this? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me and I ate.

And the Lord God said to the serpent, Because thou hast done this thou art cursed above all cattle and all the brutes of the earth, on thy breast and belly thou shalt go, and thou shalt eat earth all the days of thy life.

And to Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and eaten of the tree concerning which I charged thee of it only not to eat—of that thou hast eaten, cursed is the ground in thy labors, in pain shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.

And Adam called the name of his wife Life, because she was the mother of all living.

And Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those that dwell in tents, feeding cattle.

And the name of his brother was Jubal; he it was who invented the psaltery and harp.

And Seth had a son, and he called his name Enosh: he hoped to call on the name of the Lord God.

This is the genealogy of men in the day in which God made Adam; in the image of God he made him:

And he called his name Noah, saying, This one will cause us to cease from our works, and from the toils of our hands, and from the earth, which the Lord God has cursed.

And the Lord God said, My Spirit shall certainly not remain among these men forever, because they are flesh, but their days shall be a hundred and twenty years.

And these are the generations of Noah. Noah was a just man; being perfect in his generation, Noah was well-pleasing to God.

And the Lord God said to Noah, Enter thou and all thy family into the ark, for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, on this day all the fountains of the abyss were broken up, and the floodgates of heaven were opened.

On that very day entered Noah, Shem, Ham, Japheth, the sons of Noah, and the wife of Noah, and the three wives of his sons with him into the ark.

And the Lord God said to Noah, This is the sign of the covenant which I set between me and you, and between every living creature which is with you for perpetual generations.

And God said to Noah, This is the sign of the covenant, which I have made between me and all flesh, which is upon the earth.

These three are the sons of Noah, of these were men scattered over all the earth.

Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, Japheth; and sons were born to them after the flood.

From these were the islands of the Gentiles divided in their land, each according to his tongue, in their tribes and in their nations.

And Cush begot Nimrod: he began to be a giant upon the earth.

and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and after this the tribes of the Canaanites were dispersed.

These were the sons of Ham in their tribes according to their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.

and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab, all these were the sons of Joktan.

These were the sons of Shem in their tribes, according to their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.

These are the tribes of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, according to their nations: of them were the islands of the Gentiles scattered over the earth after the flood.

And the Lord said, Behold, there is one race, and one lip of all, and they have begun to do this, and now nothing shall fail from them of all that they may have undertaken to do.

On this account its name was called Confusion, because there the Lord confounded the languages of all the earth, and thence the Lord scattered them upon the face of all the earth.

And these are the generations of Shem: and Shem was a hundred years old when he begot Arpachshad, the second year after the flood.

And these are the generations of Terah. Terah begot Abram and Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begot Lot.

And the Lord appeared to Abram, and said to him, I will give this land to thy seed. And Abram built an altar there to the Lord, who appeared to him.

And having turned back they came to the well of judgment; this is Kadesh, and they cut in pieces all the princes of Amalek, and the Amorites dwelling in Hazazon-tamar.

And the king of Sodom went out, and the king of Gomorrah, and king of Admah, and king of Zeboiim, and king of Bela, this is Zoar, and they set themselves in array against them for war in the salt valley,

And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he returned from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and the kings with him, to the Valley of Shaveh; this was the plain of the kings.

Except what things the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men that went with me, Eshcol, Aner, Mamre, these shall take a portion.

And after these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I shield thee, thy reward shall be very great.

And Abram said, Master and Lord, what wilt thou give me? whereas I am departing without a child, but the son of Masek my homeborn female slave, this Eliezer of Damascus is mine heir.

And immediately there was a voice of the Lord to him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come out of thee shall be thine heir.

And he said to him, I am God that brought thee out of the land of the Chaldeans, so as to give thee this land to inherit.

And the nation whomsoever they shall serve I will judge; and after this, they shall come forth hither with much property.

And when the sun was about to set, there was a flame, and behold a smoking furnace and lamps of fire, which passed between these divided pieces.

And he said, I will return and come to thee according to this period seasonably, and Sarah thy wife shall have a son; and Sarah heard at the door of the tent, being behind him.

Shall anything be impossible with the Lord? At this time I will return to thee seasonably, and Sarah shall have a son.

By no means shalt thou do as this thing is so as to destroy the righteous with the wicked, so the righteous shall be as the wicked: by no means. Thou that judgest the whole earth, shalt thou not do right?

But I have two daughters, who have not known a man. I will bring them out to you, and do ye use them as it may please you, only do not injury to these men, to avoid which they came under the shelter of my roof.

And the men said to Lot, Hast thou here sons-in-law, or sons or daughters, or if thou hast any other friend in the city, bring them out of this place.

For we are going to destroy this place; for their cry has been raised up before the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy it.

And Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law who had married his daughters, and said, Rise up, and depart out of this place, for the Lord is about to destroy the city; but he seemed to be speaking absurdly before his sons-in-law.

Behold this city is near for me to escape thither, which is a small one, and there shall I be preserved, is it not little? and my soul shall live because of thee.

And he said to him, Behold, I have had respect to thee also about this thing, that I should not overthrow the city about which thou hast spoken.

Hasten therefore to escape thither, for I shall not be able to do anything until thou art come thither; therefore he called the name of that city, Zoar.

And he overthrew these cities, and all the country round about, and all that dwelt in the cities, and the plants springing out of the ground.

So they made their father drink wine in that night, and the elder went in and lay with her father that night, and he knew not when he slept and when he rose up.

And it came to pass on the morrow, that the elder said to the younger, Behold, I slept yesternight with our father, let us make him drink wine in this night also, and do thou go in and sleep with him, and let us raise up seed of our father.

And the elder bore a son, and called his name Moab, saying, He is of my father. This is the father of the Moabites to this present day.

And the younger also bore a son, and called his name Ammon, saying, The son of my family. This is the father of the Ammonites to this present day.

And God came to Abimelech by night in sleep, and said, Behold, thou diest for the woman, whom thou hast taken, whereas she has lived with a husband.

Said he not to me, She is my sister, and said she not to me, He is my brother? with a pure heart and in the righteousness of my hands have I done this.

And God said to him in sleep, Yea, I knew that thou didst this with a pure heart, and I spared thee, so that thou shouldest not sin against me, therefore I suffered thee not to touch her.

And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and he spoke all these words in their ears, and all the men feared exceedingly.

And Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, What is this that thou hast done to us? Have we sinned against thee, that thou hast brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? Thou hast done to me a deed, which no one ought to do.

And Abimelech said to Abraham, What hast thou seen in me that thou hast done this?

And Abraham said, Why I said, Surely there is not the worship of God in this place, and they will slay me because of my wife.

And it came to pass when God brought me forth out of the house of my father, that I said to her, This righteousness thou shalt perform to me, in every place into which we may enter, say of me, He is my brother.

And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver, those shall be to thee for the price of thy countenance, and to all the women with thee, and speak the truth in all things.

then she said to Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son, for the son of this bondwoman shall not inherit with my son Isaac.

And moreover I will make the son of this bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed.

And Abimelech said to him, I know not who has done this thing to thee, neither didst thou tell it me, neither heard I it but only today.

And Abimelech said to Abraham, What are these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set alone?

And Abraham said, Thou shalt receive the seven ewe lambs of me, that they may be for me as a witness, that I dug this well.

Therefore he named the name of that place, The Well of the Oath, for there they both swore.

And it came to pass after these things that God tempted Abraham, and said to him, Abraham, Abraham; and he said, Lo! I am here.

saying, I have sworn by myself, says the Lord, because thou hast done this thing, and on mine account hast not spared thy beloved son,

these are eight sons, which Milcah bore to Nahor the brother of Abraham.

And Sarah died in the city of Arba, which is in the valley, this is Hebron in the land of Canaan; and Abraham came to lament for Sarah and to mourn.

Nay, my lord, I have heard indeed, the land is worth four hundred silver didrachmas, but what can this be between me and thee? nay, do thou bury thy dead.

After this Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the Double Cave of the field, which is opposite Mamre, this is Hebron in the land of Canaan.

And the servant said to him, Shall I carry back thy son to the land whence thou camest forth, if haply the woman should not be willing to return with me to this land?

The Lord the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, who took me out of my father’s house, and out of the land whence I sprang, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, I will give this land to thee and to thy seed, he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife to my son from thence.

And if the woman should not be willing to come with thee into this land, thou shalt be clear from my oath, only carry not my son thither again.

And the servant put his hand under the thigh of his master Abraham, and swore to him concerning this matter.

And it shall be, the virgin to whomsoever I shall say, Incline thy waterpot, that I may drink, and she shall say, Drink thou, and I will give thy camels drink, until they shall have done drinking—even this one thou hast prepared for thy servant Isaac, and hereby shall I know that thou hast dealt mercifully with my master Abraham.

And the damsel ran and reported to the house of her mother according to these words.

and she shall say to me, Both drink thou, and I will draw water for thy camels, this shall be the wife whom the Lord has prepared for his own servant Isaac; and hereby shall I know that thou hast wrought mercy with my master Abraham.

And Laban and Bethuel answered and said, This matter has come forth from the Lord, we shall not be able to answer thee bad or good.

And it came to pass when the servant of Abraham heard these words, he bowed himself to the Lord down to the earth.

And her brethren and her mother said, Let the virgin remain with us about ten days, and after that she shall depart.

And they called Rebekah, and said to her, Wilt thou go with this man? and she said, I will go.

and said to the servant, Who is that man that walks in the plain to meet us? And the servant said, This is my master; and she took her veil and covered herself.

And these are the generations of Ishmael the son of Abraham, whom Hagar the Egyptian the handmaid of Sarah bore to Abraham.

And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, according to the names of their generations. The firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth, and Kedar, and Abdeel, and Mibsam,

These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names in their tents and in their dwellings, twelve princes according to their nations.

And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty-seven years; and he failed and died, and was added to his fathers.

And these are the generations of Isaac the son of Abraham.
